Know More about this tour

If you are an early bird, you should never miss Taj Mahal at sunrise. We will pick you up at your preferable location in Agra before 5:30am and simply marvel at the spectacular Taj Mahal. Take your time to admire the majestic architecture of Taj Mahal - a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most famous and beautiful buildings in the world. Our professional local guide will reveal all the mysteries of Taj Mahal and its architecture. Even if you have read about it or seen the photos, experiencing Taj Mahal at sunrise in person will always take your breath away.

If you prefer later departure time, we will pick you up at your preferable time and location and also start the journey at Taj Mahal. Later on we will visit the nearby Agra Fort that is an amazing building and UNESCO World Heritage Site. This fort in red also features impressive architecture and beautiful pavilions. Our guide will explain to you about all the beautiful palaces inside Agra Fort as well its origin and the history.

After Agra Fort, we will visit Baby Taj Mahal - Etmad Ud Daulla's Tomb. The tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah is also an architectural marvel that is situated on the bank of Yamuna. People also refer it as mini Taj Mahal because it is similar to Minars, the stone work called pietra dura and lattice work. Our Guide will explain its fascinating history and exquisite carving work and architecture.

Take a lunch break. After lunch explore Agra art and crafts. Agra has always been known for its leather products and its handicraft variation. In addition to the exclusive products from Agra, you will also be introduced to paintings, pottery, handicrafts and other artist works from different parts of the country.

Around 4pm, visit the tomb of Emperor Akbaand and learn more about this greatest Emperor in India history. The last stop is Mehtab Bagh (Moonlight Garden ) for a romantic view of Taj Mahal at sunset. Mahtab Bagh is located across the river Yamuna from Taj Mahal and considered a perfect place to view Taj Mahal without the jostling crowds. You can actually sit in peace and admire the beauty of the monument at sunset. In the meantime, your guide will explain the history of this beautiful garden.

2 days into our holiday and we had to set the alarm for
04.45, it was tough, but well worth it :) !
Sameer arrived right on time, we got into a spotless air
conditioned car and off we went to the Taj Mahal. Sameer was
very knowledgeable, and told us the story of the Taj Mahal,
why it was there, who was there, the woes before and even
information about how it was built!
After getting to the Taj Mahal and seeing it by sunrise and
having a good tour, the crowds were descending so we were
popped back to our hotel for breakfast!
We were collected again, and off we went to see the red
fort, via a shop that produces beautiful pieces of inlaid
marble.
Again, Sameer told us the story of the fort, and who lived
here. It's worth noting that I'm not very stable on my feet,
and underfoot can be a little uneven, but Sameer took his
time, let me go at my pace.
We went on to visit the 'baby taj' and the moonlight
gardens. We could have done this at sunset, but decided
against it as the weather is quite hazy at the time of year
we went, and I'm so glad! The gardens are beautiful, serene
and peaceful. they should be visited for this, and not
simply because you can see the Taj Mahal from across the
river. Had we have gone to see the Taj at sunset I think
some of the gardens own qualities would have been missed!
We had a delicious lunch, typically a thali at a local
restaurant, but it was delicious and as Sameer lunch with
us, we got to chat with him and learn a little about him
which was lovely.

The next time we come to this part of India, we'll
definitely be calling on the services of Kaimur
Holidays!

I have vacationed both with and without tour companies
and I must say this has been my favoirite to far. It was the
best of both worlds because Kaimur Holidays took care of
everything to MY desires. I bought the set sunrise sunset of
the Taj group of sights and got to see everything without
any waiting in queues or trying to figure out protocols.
Samir was fabulous at making sure I didnt worry about
anything. This brought me a lot of comfort as a solo woman
traveller who only had a few days to see the sights. Samir
took amazing pictures and even paid for some things for me
when I couldnt get to the ATM I paid him back of course.
Then most importantly even though I just bought the Agra day
tour I ended up turning it into two days and getting to see
Sikri and being picked up and dropped off in Delfi for an
EXCELLENT price. They know where to find everything and are
very knowledgeable. The food places they take you to are
safe according to my still functioning GI system and well
rated. My driver Gurmeet was VERY kind, and an excellent
driver safe which is hard to be in India, and very timely.
He was usually waiting for me to get ready and I never
waited for him to arrive. They even sent him my picture so
he knew to look for me. If I ever return to India, which I
plan to, I will definitely look them up again and have
already been telling my friends about them. I really wanted
to insights on the Moghul dynasty and architecture and the
Agra Fort, and the 'Baby Taj' and the Taj itself along with
Sikri are EXCELLENT ways to feel the legacy of the dynasty.
I also requested of the company via whatsapp and was able to
see the show at the convention center Kalakrit and Samir set
that up for me in less than 4 hours. Nothing was missed. My
photos were fantastic with just my cell phone. I was telling
them they should invest in a nice camera and they could
probably add 'pro photographer' to the list of things they
offer. It was great to have an affordable few days with this
company and I definitely recommend them.

We booked this tour based on the reviews on Viator and
were not disappointed. The tour is a great overview of the
Taj Mahal and the three other main attractions Red Fort,
Baby Taj and Mehtab Bagh/Moonlight Garden. We chose a 5.30am
pick up to visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise and were glad to
be on a tour. When you are barely awake, it is great to be
taken care of buying tickets, standing in the right queue
etc. so you can focus on enjoying the site. Our guide was
very informative and happily took photos of us on our camera
throughout the day. All pick ups were on time. We asked to
stop to buy a take away breakfast before heading back to our
hotel and the food was very nice. We visited a workshop /
shop where we could see how the marble inlay technique is
performed, as used in the decorations of the Taj Mahal. The
explanations were very interesting. Naturally, we were shown
many products for sale, with some sales pressure to buy, but
no more than any elsewhere, and we left without buying. We
had the option of visiting other shops and markets, but
declined as we were not interested. My recommendation to
future travellers is to feel free to take your time to take
photos and explore further. There is plenty of time in the
day to spend as long as you wish to take photos, for
example. The guide will wait for you without a problem.
Overall, we had a great day and were very happy with our
tour.

Samir was brilliant. The cab driver was late for our
pickup, but Samir assured us correctly that we would enter
the Taj Mahal before sunrise and we did.

His knowledge is off the chart. Best trip so far!

We did not know what to expect about the tour, but since
we touched down Delhi, all was taken care of as our driver
picked us up and the journey to Agra started. Our tour guide
explained everything very well, answered our questions and
knew the places to get nice pictures. It was like a story
and we were mesmerised. The driver was also very helpful and
every time we got into the car, a cold bottle of water was
ready. The place they brought us for lunch was very good
too. All in all, we can say that the experience of the Taj
Mahal with the guiding of the tour was a magical
experience.

The company providing the tour is apparently a young
company. Unfortunately I don't have much advice to give them
since everything was perfect. Excellent communication before
the tour and the day before just to confirm everything,
via WhatsApp. The tour guide was really nice and very
knowledgeable. The driver also really friendly and relax
with his driving style. The car was nice and in an excellent
condition. They are very flexible and can tailor the
schedule according to your wishes. They also have the option
to drive you back and forth from Delhi. In the morning of
the tour, I decided to go back to Delhi airport by car in
the same afternoon. They had no problem arranging it. The
experience was excellent. That tour allows you to truly
enjoy the place and what you see. Highly recommended.

I rarely give a perfect score in a review but I've gotta
hand it to Shanoo, Astif, and Suneel at Kaimur Holidays.
They took wonderful care of me which was especially
important since I was touring alone. Their personalized
service and attention to detail every step of the way was
superb even when I booked the wrong tour at first Shanoo
still accommodated above and beyond. Astif my guide was
outstanding. He was such a joy to be with for the entire
day. His knowledge of the culture and the history was
amazing. I was so very pleased. It all began with the
driver Suneel be on time, courteous an attentive. Not only
that but I got a personal visit and gift from Shanoo the
power while at lunch looking to make sure my needs were
being met. I was thoroughly impressed. Being the stickler
for quality customer service as I am, I would HIGHLY
recommend Kaimur Holidays to everyone and will use them
again upon my return.

Thank you so much for making my trip quite
memorable,
Michelle

The BEST way to see the Taj! Jitendra Jitu,was an
excellent guide - very knowledgeable! While a long day, he
was able to make it flow very easily! He's also a GREAT
photographer - no need to hire one of the local guys buzzing
around, He took incredible pictures of us with our camera!!
As with any tour, there are always stops at certain kinds
of shops - and he was able to cater to our needs and budget!
While the Red Fort and the other locations were awesome,
seeing the Taj again at sunset was the highlight of our
trip! I can't say enough great things to say about this
tour!! Incredibly happy and a GREAT value!
